What exactly about delusion do you think is a reproductive disadvantage?
Hint: all it takes to reproduce is functional sexual organs.

You're an idiot. Trilobites had functional reproductive organs and I don't see many of those around.

If you are unaware of who I am, I am quite the anti-theist who equate religion to being delusional.
Please, by all means, surprise me in a way that no theist in the history of my life has been capable of doing.
The catch is that I have never given a theist a rep on this forum.
What makes you believe we care if you give us a rep or not, I mean really, those Christians who are here and care about your rep or any rep are here for the wrong reason, as far as Christianity is concerned. Keep your reps, but listen closely, you may just learn a thing or two, you haven't yet but there's always hope. If you actually had ever learned anything about the sincere Christian you would have not posted such a dumb thing.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

Theism is just a poetic label, understood by some of the more vulgar as an exquisite understanding (it's typically not) of some mythological anthropomorph residing in a dream made to appear real, a castle in the sky. A respectable version of theism simply views the projects of man, from his arts to his sciences, and sees them all pointing towards something too grand to capture in thought. It is an eternal abyss of beauty and horror, unity and plurality, all and nothing, order and chaos, subsumed by this idea of sufficient reason that beckons from within and without but remains either viciously circular or viciously regressive. The mystery is called God because such-and-such religious or philosophical traditions, from the ancients to the moderns, have always expressed deity in such a way and it has demonstrated this peculiar quality of continually resonating with individuals, or the community of individuals said person reveres, in a manner that feels transcendent. They don't claim to know anything with certainty but their life takes on more vividness when they put their trust in the ineffable as a source of hope in all circumstances, by means of the symbolic language their particular brand of theism employs.
That's the best I got. Does that get me a rep?

Godschild, thanks for the spot-on post. I take objection to the claim that religion is a delusion. Anyone making such a claim is too stupid to distinguish between biological conditions and cultural artifacts.
